I heard a discussion about this on local talk radio in L.A. It was the opinion of the host that the majority of Romney's income is investment income/capital gains, which is taxed at just below 15%. Nothing illegal, he paid his share. Good for him. He didn't do anything that anyone else here on this board wouldn't do if we were in his position. And I call bullcrap on anyone who says otherwise.
Romney shouldn't release them unless the IRS demands it. Screw everybody that insists he does.
And if this were the least bit true, why wouldn't Reid or anybody else actually report this to the IRS? Because there's nothing to report. Just a bunch grown men acting like tween girls spreading rumors about the new and more popular girl in town is what it is.
Don't you think the current President would effing know if there was something illegal in his tax returns? You don't think Obama has the ability to look at them? If there was something illegal in there it would have leaked. This is the same group of schoolgirls who leak classified information like eighth grade girls leak gossip and rumors.
There is nothing there except lots of commas in his taxable income and taxes paid. Big deal.
Once again, if it is just a lot of money, why doesn't he release them? We all KNOW that Romney's wealth is hundreds of millions of dollars.
I love it when libs hear a foolish talking point and don't bother vetting it.
The horse deduction was $49.
Oopsie on you!
Morons who think Mitt is hiding something need to report it to the IRS. IRS pays big bucks for catching tax thieves.
It was. That is why there was an amnesty that Mittens might have been a part of....
Did Mitt Romney Take the 2009 Swiss Bank Account Amnesty
Wealthy U.S. taxpayers, concerned about an Internal Revenue Service crackdown on the use of secret overseas bank accounts as tax havens, are rushing to meet a Thursday deadline to disclose those accounts or face possible criminal prosecution. The concern was triggered this summer when Switzerland's largest bank, caught up in an international tax evasion dispute, said it would disclose the names of more than 4,000 of its U.S. account holders.
The fact that Governor Romney is willing to endure the kind of political beating he's taking on this issue, rather than just release the returns and take perhaps one or two bad news cycles, is really a head-scratcher. We already know he's very wealthy, and few voters hold that against him. From the one partial return he's released, we know his effective tax rate in that year was lower than that paid by many middle-class working families. We already know those things, and most of us don't hold it against him. Mitt Romney didn't make the rules, after all.
So why won't he release his returns and score a HUGE political win?
Romney is gonna get beaten like a rented mule with this tax return issue all the way too the elecion.
It's quite possible people will be stupid enough to focus on a side issue like this and vote for Obama. They were stupid enough before. I'm sure most of them are still around.

Harry Reid IS!
If Reid has proof, he should report it to the authorities instead of playing politics to help the campaign efforts of his grand larcenous leader.
Reid has been put up to do this, maybe with the promise of something to motivate him. He doesn't realize how bad this makes him look. The Dems want this so badly just so they can go over it with a fine tooth comb and find something that they can make another issue out of.

Nothing more important to the country's future and its citizens that you can think of to wonder about?
Must be nice in blissville.
Mitt Romney isn't hiding anything, the democratic just want you to think so. Gutter politices at it's worst.
